Battery Use

The internal battery gauge at the top indicates the remaining capacity of battery 1,(battery pack) and the battery gauge be￿ low indicates the remaining capacity of battery 2 (expansion battery pack).

The remaining capacity of each battery is indicated by the following colors:

"Light blue: 100% to 75%

"Yellow: 75% to 50%

"Red: 50% to 0%

Tapping on the battery icon starts up the Pen*Key tool, which can be used to obtain more detailed battery informa￿ tion. In addition, the icon changes to an AC charger icon when the pen computer is being powered by the AC adapter.

The remaining capacity of the battery packs can be checked by tapping on •Control Panel" under •Settings" in the Start menu and then double-tapping the •Power Management" icon.

If the AC adapter is connected, the remaining capacity of the battery packs is not displayed.

"NOTE:The remaining capacity that is displayed is based on the battery volt- age; some error in the reading might be present under certain condi- tions. The length of time a battery can power the system will also vary according to how the system is used and which applications are being run, so the indications of the remaining battery capacity should only be used as an approximation.

"NOTE:If a battery pack is being recharged, the display of the remaining battery capacity will not be accurate.
